discrimination

I applied for a job and a week later the owner calls me to ask me if I'm still interested because the person they originally hired didn't work out. I told her yes but wanted to be honest so I told her I was pregnant. She said that she wasn't sure if that would work for her and asked of she could call me back today. She did call back and left a message saying that she had a talk with the other person they hired and gonna try to give her a month. Now I wish I never told her!!!

Sadly, no one likes to hire people when they know that they're going to have to find a replacement for them - even if temporary - in a few months time. Plus they'd have to pay you maternity benefits, etc.

It is discrimination, no matter which way you want to slice it. You probably would have been best off not telling them until later on.

I was in the same situation however once I accepted the job is when I advised of my pregnancy. I could tell they weren't really happy however once they offered and I accepted they couldn't do anything. I hope you find another job and pooy on them for treating you that way.

Thanks every one for your kind words and support. I hope to find something soon before I start showing. I kinda wanna call the labor board just to inquire but why waste anymore of my energy on this is what also comes to mind!!

When they called you, was it a "job offer"? It's illegal for them to deny you the position after telling them you are pg. If they offered you the position and are now rescinding you have been discriminated against due to pregnancy and you need to contact the EEOC.

Total descrimination! Same thing just happened to me. At least they called you, and told you they chose someone else; they just left me hanging and never called me. I had a start date, I resigned from my other job and when it came time to go yo work, they told me i need to sign my formal offer letter, well the " formal offer " never arrived. Two weeks went by and I decided to call my old boss back and they gave me my job back, thank god I left in good terms, and had a good relationship with my previous bosses.

I'm a perfect example of why you should never burn your bridges. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be honest.

Yes she offered me the position and even explain why she decided to call me after the other girl didn't work out. That's when I told her that I was pregnant. I'm still very much upset that she would do that and on top of it all she just had a baby so I didn't think she'll be so cruel!!!!
